Your blood type could affect your memory. The type most at risk...

If you’re experiencing memory loss, you might want to check your blood type. 

According to a new study in the journal Neurology, those with Type AB blood may be at a significantly higher risk of memory loss later in life. The researcher tracked participants age 45 and older for three to four years and determined those with AB had an 82 percent higher risk of cognitive decline.

There’s nothing you can do about your blood type but diet and lifestyle changes that support a healthy memory can help to counteract the increased risk. Staying physically and socially active as you age is good advice for any Type.
